"Cao's...salt business?"

Wang Qing had a look of surprise on his face.

When he heard that Wu Liang wanted to change the name of the salt store, Wang Qing thought that even if Wu Liang couldn't give the salt store a very artistic name, at least he would have to change it to something related to himself, such as "Wu Ji"

Or "Wu's" or something.

Why did you change it to such an irrelevant name?

"good."

Wu Liang nodded.

"Excuse me for talking too much, Brother Yu, but what is the profound meaning of this name?"

Wang Qing couldn't help but ask.

“Who has the final say in Yanzhou now?”

Wu Liang asked with a smile.

"Cao Meng... the governor?"

Wang Qing replied.

"So, brother Yu Nian and I jointly do this business in Chenliu, and we have to ensure that no one dares to take advantage of this business. Who should we rely on?"

Wu Liang asked again.

"Of course it's Cao Cao, the wise brother means..."

Wang Qing finally realized something.

“If we want to make this business bigger and stronger, our three forces are indispensable!”

Wu Liang showed off the two market coupons he had just received from Wang Qing, and said with a smile, "I will provide you with the unique method of snowflake salt and two salt shops. Cao Shijun will provide his reputation and soldiers to guarantee our salt shop."

With its unique status and speed of expansion, Brother Yu Nian provides many years of business experience and manpower. This is an unbreakable iron triangle. I am afraid it will be difficult to accomplish this matter."

"..."

Only then did Wang Qing finally realize that in just a few words, Wu Liang had already treated the two salt shops as his own, and this had already been included in his investment.

And without the participation of Boss Cao or even any Cao family members, he was counted as one of the partners.

On the contrary, the Wang family, who was said to be a partner, has actually become the shopkeeper of "Cao's Salt Shop"...

Isn't this the shopkeeper?

Responsible for the salt store's business policies and manpower arrangements. In the past, the shopkeeper of his salt store did this kind of work, and there was basically no difference.

It was also at this time that Wang Qing suddenly realized.

Beneath Wu Liang's seemingly calm appearance, there is such a big ambition hidden... When he and his father talked about snowflake salt before, his eyes were still focused on the salt industry, and what he thought was based on the salt industry.

Gradually bring the Wang family back to its peak glory.

But Wu Liang's vision seems to be much deeper than theirs!

Otherwise, how could the Salt Bank be tied up with Cao Mengde, who is now at the height of his power in Yanzhou and Xuzhou? With such a military-business connection, it is obvious that he is well prepared and has a far-reaching plan?

But how could Wang Qing know?

In fact, what Wu Liang wanted was so simple that anyone who heard it would just think he was joking.

"I would like to call this partnership a 'joint-stock system'."

Wu Liang smiled and continued, "Based on the current investment situation of the three parties, Cao Shijun exclusively holds 40% of the dry shares, and brother Yu Nian and I each hold 30%. From now on, no matter how the development of the salt bank is, the income will be based on this

Brother Yu Nian, do you have any opinions on the proportion of sharing?"

"Thirty percent?"

Wang Qing was stunned again.

After this calculation, the Wang family no longer looks like shopkeepers.

Rather, they are actual partners. After all, the shopkeeper can't get such a large share of the profits, so he will be nothing more than a high-level wage earner.

in addition.

What he didn't understand even more was that Wu Liang, the partner who provided almost all the core technology and infrastructure, only took 30% of the dry shares, but gave Cao Cao 40% of the dry shares, making Cao Cao the biggest beneficiary. It seemed completely

Isn't that necessary?

"Brother Yu Nian is too young?"

Wu Liang asked.

"No, no, no, nothing less. Now that the Wang family has no salt business, and the future has not yet been settled, it may be defeated by the foolish brother. The wise brother is willing to support the Wang family in this way, which has reached the point of being extremely benevolent. The Wang family

How dare you be greedy?"

Wang Qing quickly expressed his position.

"That's good. In that case, I'll leave the matter of replacing the signboard to Brother Yu Nian. As the saying goes, brothers will settle accounts. I will draw up the contract later. Brother Yu Nian will sign it and press his fingerprints, and then you can bring Snowflakes with you.

When I go back to prepare for the opening of 'Cao's Salt Shop', I will also go to the prefect Cheng Yu to explain the matter and ask him to make it easier for 'Cao's Salt Shop'. This is the first time after we opened

The goal is to capture the entire Chenliu salt market, and the specific implementation depends entirely on Brother Yu Nian."

Wu Liang said with a smile.

In fact, the contract Wu Liang mentioned was not used to bind Wang Qing, nor was it used to ensure his own interests, but was left for Boss Cao to see in the future.

This must be a big surprise for Boss Cao.

Imagine that Boss Cao came back from the war and suddenly discovered that the salt industry in Yanzhou had been monopolized by a salt company called "Cao's Salt Company". After asking for a long time, he discovered that Wu Liang was actually one of the bosses behind the scenes.

Later, when Wu Liang was called for questioning, Wu Liang took out a contract with the largest profit for Boss Cao, and took out both his and Boss Cao's shares, giving Boss Cao a lot of blood.

Just asking are you surprised?

Is it surprising?

If at this time, Wu Liang once again stated that the "unique magic method of snowflake salt" was obtained by robbing tombs. The ancient books and documents in the ancient tombs also hide a large amount of knowledge left over from ancient civilizations. This knowledge is the real treasure, far better than gold.

Baoyu.

He also took this opportunity to suggest that Boss Cao transform the Hu army into an "archaeological army".

Since then, they have focused on studying ancient books and documents in ancient tombs, and excavating ancient civilization relics for Cao Wei's use, instead of simply stealing gold for Boss Cao. Has the Hu army successfully transformed from a "tomb robbing organization" into a

Formal “scientific research organization”?

Of course, if a "snowflake salt" is not enough.

Wu Liang also has the "Farming System" and the "Locust Extermination Secret Technique" for consecutive critical attacks. One of them is always suitable for Boss Cao, and based on time, it is very likely that the three attacks will be launched together in the end, resulting in a huge critical hit!

In doing so, Wu Liang was actually thinking about himself.

In the last few months of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wu Liang discovered more and more that the current social productivity had been extremely seriously affected by the continuous wars.

Because of this, inflation has reached a very scary level.

Not only the five-baht coin has long been turned into scrap metal, but even the purchasing power of gold is constantly depreciating.

On his way to Yuzhang County to rob tombs, Wu Liang passed by a few small places where five baht coins were still circulating. Even if it was not a small coin cast by Dong Zhuo, buying a handful of beans and wheat in such a place would cost 200,000 coins, and it was clearly marked.

No counter-offers will be made to the stated price...

Two hundred thousand dollars, what does this mean?

This means that if ordinary people want to buy a handful of beans and wheat, they have to spend five baht which is more than ten times heavier than the beans and wheat. According to the normal weight of five baht in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is 3.7 grams, they have to bring 740 kilograms of beans.

Copper coins buy a handful of beans and wheat...

Although gold is a rarer and more stable metal, it will also be an extremely important currency reserve in future generations.

But in this era, gold cannot be eaten or drunk, and it is just a currency.

A farm ox costs a hundred kilograms of gold, and a war horse costs dozens of kilograms of gold. This is all the result of a serious decline in social productivity.

If you only focus on obtaining gold instead of finding ways to improve social productivity, you are fishing from the lake. One day, no matter how rich you are, you can only starve to death holding a mountain of gold.

That is to say.

If Wu Liang does not transform, as social productivity further declines and the purchasing power of gold decreases further, Boss Cao's demand for gold will only increase, and Wu Liang will eventually be unable to meet his demand.

When that day comes, although Boss Cao will not kill him without reason, he will also reduce his reliance on him.

Then his "archaeological" career will definitely be affected...

"I will do my best and will not let down the support and trust of my talented brother."

Wang Qing quickly agreed.

Now that the Wang family has reached the edge of desperation, if they can climb onto Wu Liang's ship, they finally have hope of coming back to life. How could he give up so easily?

"Oh, by the way, Brother Yu Nian, yesterday I heard the old man who arranged the cremation for Brother Yu Nian say that the Wang family is from a famous family and once was the right prime minister?"

Wu Liang suddenly thought of something and asked again.

"Exactly."
